009 An Open Door to Music Ministry with Tom Bonard [Podcast]
In this episode Jo Boyce will be talking to Tom Bonard of Crossbeam about the evolution of his music ministry and song-writing. In a season when public singing has been relegated a little, for reasons of health and safety, this episode is an encouraging and inspiring reminder of the value of music and song in our journey of faith.
Now based in the Diocese of Plymouth, Tom's links with CJM MUSIC go back many year to their first meeting at the Celebrate Conference, when his musical gifting was just beginning to come to the fore.
Tom is now a regular face in the line-up the CJM MUSIC collective, and released his first solo album, Open Door, back in 2017.
